Letters Patent No. 75,058, dated March 3; 1868.

'ro ALL WHOM,IT MAY CONCERN i Be it known that I, MICHAEL SCHALL, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventeda 'new and improved Composition for Casts and Fancy Articles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This-invention consists in forming a composition for making casts for toys and fancy articles, and it con sists in forming the same of stearine and a substance known as Krems white, or Krems cement.

The stearine is melted over a slow fire, or at as low a temperature as possible. To the-stearine thus liqueficd is now added, and thoroughly stirred in, about halfits weight of finely-powdered Krems white, or Krems cement, or so much of it as may be necessary to produce a thick paste. When this is done,,stearine is again added in small portions, until the composition shows that it can be easily and smoothly moulded or cast into various forms, such as fancy articles, toys, &c. i

Upon the thirtieth of June, 1863, Letters Patent were granted me for a composition, for the same purpose, in which terra alba was cmployed'instead of Kreuis white. 'I have found that by using Kreins white, or Krems cement, astronger and much more beautiful article is formed.

I do not confine myself to any particular proportions informing the present composition, as the articles manufactured from it require different degrees of strength and hardness. 7

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

b A composition formed of the ingredients herein named, for the purposes described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 11th day of January, 1868.

' MICHAEL SGHALL.
